My dog and cat are truly my best friends. They ask for so little and give so much!
I only hope that these animals are provided fresh water, food, shelter, and shade all through the year.

Girls in Marion County are lucky to have such good support from organizations like Girls on the Run, 4-H, and Girls Scouts. We need to give a big pat on the back to the adult volunteers and parents that help make these programs available to our girls.
